At our Voracious Tasting & Food Awards tonight, there will be food, and alcohol, and live music. The alcohol will no doubt be very good: bartenders from Tavern Law and Zig Zag (among others) will be mixing drinks. The food will be very, very good: Pretty much all of my favorite places to eat will be represented. There will be live music, but I doubt they hired The Black Dahlia Murder to play, so Im pretty sure I dont give a shit about the music. But what I DO want to see is the Iron Chef-style culinary battle royale between Emmer & Rye chef Seth Caswell and Spinasses boy genius in residence, Jason Stratton. There will be a secret ingredient. Also, awards will be given out, but no one has yet mentioned what, exactly, the prizes are. So I remain EXTREMELY suspicious. And if you want to see a bunch of drunken writers and culinary types, be sure to get in early. Its going to be like a symposium of people who dont have health insurance! THE SURLY GOURMAND
